You're probably right about PoE2, it's probable this is the reason why these changes are happening. Trying to balance all this in one go seems like it's biting off more than they can chew, they can't get things right at the best of times. I'd have been far happier for them to do something like...

No way they are getting 150k players on the league start this time around. Retention this league will drop like a fucking stone as there will be shitloads of people who would normally make it to maps who can't be bothered, the act/flask changes alone will see to this. It's summer, lockdowns...

I think VR would have milked a suicide like fuck for cash given the chance as this seems to be a long grift, restarting the kickstarter once the legend McQuaid died would have been something I thought might happen. Who knows what really happened, we all saw the state of Brad in the last couple...

Read the link I posted the way he goes round the tree on that build means he can take some nice defensive nodes + life. The guide explains every decision he made. Didn't play 3.14 so if it's been broken I wasn't aware of that. I've used it all the time and have found it really quite good. You...

I doubt mines/totems will be a major meta just a small one. The problem with them is that people can't be bothered to learn them, to play them well you need to be prepared to practice and learn all the bosses, no matter how geared you are they are unforgiving. Trapper can be tanky as Octavian...

I'd thought Brad killed himself, that's why there was all the secrecy surrounding his death (common under those of circumstances). But then again it's gaming, so we would have had a fucking kickstarter, charity drives, mental health awareness shit etc shoved in our faces about it all if that...

This is the trapper I played in 3.13 was a hardcore build made by Octavian. Started 3.13 on ele hit totems and picked this build up very late and probably only for the last couple challenges. Was fun, not sure if it's still viable with all the changes, I didn't kill Maven on this (not sure why)...

I never took chain reaction, used hair trigger gem instead.

The aim thing doesn't really feel like a thing once you get cluster traps on the go and have lots of them out and shits exploding everywhere.

A return to the normality where you can just visit a website or walk into a shop and buy a card off the street (instantly for MSRP) still seems like it's at least a year + away to me. Doubt you'll get a card for its MSRP even then, you'll still pay a premium, just not as much as currently. As...

Brutal update notes. Glad that traps seem a likely meta, when I played them in 3.13 they were incredible. Nobody was playing any variant really, so they were pretty cheap (wand aside). I used lightning spire trap for the duration of the story and felt that it was pretty underrated as a skill...

Probably the motherboard, hard to tell what components get mashed in an electrical event. If there's nothing at all with the motherboard disconnected from everything and powered up then it's probably fucked, as it would have some kind of post error code, bleeps lights etc. Hope it works out...

Was looking at playing this league, but after reading Chris's bullshit posts I don't think I'll bother. Ultimatum was poor for player retention and these changes seem like they will make the next league dead after 2 weeks. On a good note, that means whatever crazy overpowered builds are...

What an amazing win for the Swiss.

I love PoE but when I'm on a break from the game the thought of coming back and dealing with trading, shitty drops and crafting put me right off. They have the ability to balance the game so that it's a better experience for everyone, they won't because of Chris's shitty manifesto and his...

Watched every game so far - I think the quality of play hasn't been that great, there's been a few good performances and games but It hurts when stadiums are half full, the atmosphere has suffered quite a bit. Things should heat up once we're out of the group phase I guess.

With APT attacks and malware in general becoming more prevalent due to everyone trying to steal each other's data/IP/money etc, you'd like to think that they'd concentrate on making a bare-bones version that's hardened against this stuff. Every time they add more useless features to Windows, it...

Windows used to have a nice UI and a decent design team now it looks like a bunch of autistic chimpanzees set your computer up after you've done a clean installation. I don't really understand why they keep moving the interface around - it's like they have ADHD. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

Read about this a few years ago in a decent Salt Lake Tribune article about his death. Sounds horrific for everyone involved, can't imagine what they felt when the pully system they'd jury-rigged failed, it seemed to be going well for a time. He sounds like he was in agony towards the end of...

From what I can make out, it's more pay to speed up progression than pay to win. Paying speeds things up considerably if you are a whale, for more modest players it's more just quality of life and faster progression for around the price of a mmo sub each month.

You don't need a massive budget to be creative, just talent. Nobody here is expecting a photorealistic next gen MMO from VR, but what they have done is pretty unimaginative and dull so far. They were probably forced into this corner because they decided on using shitty Unity assets from the get...

They don't have any other zones to showcase, we've seen everything they have made so far. Haven't watched the full video but flicking through it seems like there's nothing very innovative to their scripting, it's all stuff that's been done before and probably better in many games. They say this...

Where the fucks the vaporware reaction when you need it.

The most dangerous bosses with extra AE are going to be Malachi, Dominus and Brine King I would think. Isn't 90 possible without leaving the story? I've hit 86 just grinding a tabula and delve in hcssf before now and that didn't take long at all. Doubt you could go past 90 cause of the penalty...

You couldn't make this shit up, Norton are adding a fucking miner to their 360 Antivirus suite. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/cryptocurrency/norton-360-antivirus-now-lets-you-mine-ethereum-cryptocurrency/

Nice Camelphat essential mix here:

I use Netgear adapters myself - they just do what they say on the box. You're never gonna get the max speeds from any powerline adapter but the netgear ones have been the best for me. Only use them for gaming pc as wireless works for everything else but in games like PoE where stability is the...

They tied things up nicely in the end. Show was great from start to finish, they kept things simple without writing retarded characters and plot twists. Winslett was brilliant but there was some excellent supporting acting all over. Probably going to win more than a few awards, deservedly so.

I'd never head of this before so I went and read a few reviews and it seemed right up my alley. It's very good, nearly all the characters are likeable and it's funny as fuck sometimes. I think because it's Australian and them being known for their absolute dogshit TV I think it's passed under...

When my sister lived in Scotland in the late 90s she lived near a Compaq assembly facility, it was the largest employer in the area as I recall. Whilst visiting and drinking in the pubs I met people who did the assembly work and the jobs were minimum wage bullshit and nobody gave a flying...

I'm a complete sucker for the Far Cry series so I'll probably pick this up. FC2 was probably the worse of the bunch (travel) but that was offset by the fun you could have by using an unlimited ammo/weapon durability cheat and simply setting the world alight as you travelled using the flare gun...

There is: /global 820 Normally do 4-5 and then grab the last couple from there. I always give a 5c donation for a trial which I think is a fair price (people often just say donate whatever rather than fix prices).

Be wary when you look up builds on the GD forums, lots of people who design builds over there do it by spawning the items required rather than playing and actually obtaining them legit. Some items in GD are rare, hard to get for various reasons or they are are drops from difficult encounters...

I don't think Boogie will get charged with anything. The guy who was stalking/trolling him is a fucking idiot and most of this board would probably have grabbed a firearm if the same shit happened to them. Can't really fault him from what I've read about it. Didn't this shit happen ages and...

Those cursors are dumb as fuck. The colors are shit and will blend in with the game itself making them hard to see. Why even bother making them look like a weapon? That's going to make it even harder to see than the normal cursor due to the shape camouflaging it against the background. This MTX...

Kate Winslett's good in this and the shows decent. Just hope it doesn't shit the bed like some previous HBO stuff.

If you are getting one shot check your resists, make sure they are maxed, this is number one reason new players get wrecked as each time you kill Kitava in the story you get a resistance penalty. If they are maxed then you need to work on your defenses, stack life and use one of the guard...

That's true for some classes but not all, theres' tons of skills they could merge or outright remove from the game to improve the experience for players. Every class has a hotbar or two of bullshit skills they never ever use or that are situational at best. As for it being more in-depth, not...

There's an enhanced edition of Exodus being released that utilizes ray tracing lighting throughout the game. I don't have a card capable of playing this at the moment but it looks absolutely stunning. Worth looking at if you have the hardware to play it as the game is very good.
